this had me thinking, well, of course conary is more than yum, but yes, i think we can say that conary replaces yum (and more) looking from a fedora perspective, i think this is exactly what's happening. now if that's true, wouldn't it make sense to treat conary as such and produce a conary rpm package that one can just install like any other rpm, just like yum is an rpm package now. a user would then install the conary rpm, which either in its postinstall script or at the first invocation of conary would then run a script that populates the database and runs genmodel. and once we have that it would be possible to just use fedoras anaconda without modification. we could effectively just build a respin using fedoras tools. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org BLUG secretary beijinglug.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
